The charts were very helpful
The charts were very helpful. I had trouble completing the payment, but TBA is very patient about that. Also, I found the Facebook page had great advice and information.

Great value tide tables
Great value tide tables that arrived very quickly, along with a nice sticker to promote the organisation, which I shall affix to my Narrowboat.
It would have been 5 stars, except the envelope arrived open and was re-sealed by Royal Mail - fortunately nothing missing

Tidal river charts for the Ouse and Trent
Looking forward to using my TBA charts - three comprehensive booklets covering the Trent and the Ouse. Definitely helping to ease my first-timer nerves having comprehensive documentation to cover the journey!
